Design
• Illustration — Light path in a Klevtsov-Cassegrain reflector telescope In the Klevtsov-Cassegrain, all of the optical surfaces are spherical or near-spherical. The secondary Mangin mirror (') and the meniscus corrector (C) are held in place by a spider vane and the front of the telescope tube is otherwise open. These types of telescopes have the disadvantage of the spider, which holds the corrector, causing diffraction artifacts and, since multiple surfaces are involved, achieving good aberration correction can be very complex. This design was originally envisaged by G. I. Popov with a practical implementation by Yuri A. Klevtsov. Commercial manufacturers of the design include Novosibirsk TAL and Vixen.
